02/26/2013 Marshall Beer exec uncovers a secret additive that cause sales to overflow. Leaves you with a similar feeling as when our Ontario government outlawed happy hour for alcohol sales in the 80s. Younger audience will be wrongfully encouraged by Tawny Kitaen's prominence on the box cover but be disappointed with older generation stars like Jamie Farr and Rich Little. See more 10/27/2012 The good times don't exactly roll in this flat comedy about an untraceable addictive food additive developed for Marshall beer. Tawny Kitaen can't lift this material although I did laugh at one scene where Jamie Farr takes out his traffic jam frustrations on a cyclist. See more 03/06/2012 79% Mostly a one joke movie, but I'll drink John De Bello's brand of comedy any day. Feeling thirsty? Drink Marshall's beer!

See more 08/01/2010 It was 'On Demand' listed as Sour Grapes. This was pretty bad. The hot 80s girls couldn't even save it. It's about a chemist who makes a chemical that when added to beer makes it insanity addictive... After awhile everyone is drinking and even little kids are drinking it instead of milk. The premise is good, the execution is not. It's too cheesy and delivers very few laughs. See more 11/18/2009 Started out good but just ended up boring See more Read all reviews
